Dispatches Channel 4 Tv Last Night

[gulliver1]

The Conservatives are at it again , Andrew Lansley, Peter Lilley, Andrew Mitchell , offering to sell secret Brexit information , at £ 5,000 a day for their service. They just cant help it can they.

Somebody will be along shortly to tell us how this was Labour activists fitted with theatrical prosthetics, makeup and voice-altering equipment, abetted by rogue MI5 operatives in an attempt to destabilise a much-loved government. :-)

[emmie]

seems they can't, i didn't see the programme, but surely they will be hauled over the coals for this. and if not why not.

I saw one reference to this on an early news programme on Sunday morning, but no further reference to it at all in any later such programme. I assumed that the named Tories had got an injunction or other legal impediment to further broadcast.

[dannyk13]

They are under investigation, but have denied doing anything wrong.Interesting to see the outcome.

Spicerack's link material appears to be three years old, so try this one...

[Spicerack]

I feel sorry for them. No 'pay' rise in 8 years.

[Quizmonster]

Ah, there you are, Spicerack!

[gulliver1]

Andrew Mitchell says could work up to ten weeks a year for them ,{ the fictitious Company} and that his Constituents do not mind him doing a bit of moonlighting.

[youngmafbog]

OK so it is dispatches, need to see the outcome of the investigation before commenting on this.

[gulliver1]

Lansley said he is already earning £ 5,000 a day by giving Brexit advice to Pharmacentical clients, wow , and he wants more by doing a bit of moonlighting.
Is there no end to this clear Blue gravy train?

[douglas9401]

A well balanced and even handed comment from youngmafbog which in no way reflects previous ravening, spittle flecked rants at anything remotely connected with stories with a redder hue. :-)

The Camera and microphone do not tell lies

[mikey4444]

It must be like herding cats for Theresa at the moment !

[Bazile]

What's there to investigate ,If they are on camera / heard offering their services ?

[dannyk13]

//The Camera and microphone do not tell lies//
Are you really that naive?

[douglas9401]

"The Camera and microphone do not tell lies"

Not stricly true but I'd trust them over some cornered sleazy politician desperately clawing at the sides of the hole he's just dug.

[gulliver1]

Danny 13.25 of course Danny, the three Mps on camera were actors dressed as MPS, How naive of me .
